"Nvidia experience" now requires you to create an account and log on!
One can apparently do this by either creating a new Nvidia account or using a Goolee, or Facepalm one. I have no wish to create the former, nor do I have either of the latters.
The loss of the "Nvidia Experience" utility is no big deal, It just means that I no longer have the auto optimisation thing (Which was quite useful to provide starting points for optimising my somewhat older graphics card (A GTX590, It still performs quite well even with current games, but not at ultimate resolutions obviously) and I now have to DL driver updates directly from the Nvidia website (But for how long?? !!). It is an inconvenience rather than a disaster (For now!)
But Why, Just why??!
Its a ****ing graphics utility for ****s sake!
What is the need for all this account crap??!
I know where this is all going.
Oh yes, Welcome to the modern hi-tech world of wi-fi enabled kettles washing machines and toasters.
Yep you can control everything from your phone.
but it comes at a price.
If you do not log on to your Hotpoint account, you will not be able to wash your clothes in your washing machine!
If you lose your web connection none of your stuff will work!
Even worse!
"The ministry of environmental control has detected that you are carrying out more than the government recommended single 40C+ wash per week. This is your final warning. do it again and your washing machine will be deactivated"
